Midday Nap Boosts Brain’s Learning Capacity
Posted on March 2nd, 2010 by MichaelScienceDaily (Feb. 22, 2010) — If you see a student dozing in the library or a co-worker catching 40 winks in her cubicle, don’t roll your eyes.
New research from the University of California, Berkeley, shows that an hour’s nap can dramatically boost and restore your brain power.
Indeed, the findings suggest that a biphasic sleep schedule not only refreshes the mind, but can make you smarter.

I thought the same thing, so the classes that I was doing well in, I slept in, to give me energy for the classes I didn’t do so well in. At the end of the year I found the moral of the story. You can’t be great at everything, so make sure to have focus in what you’re good at. I’m working in SE Asia now where the Idea of suficiant break time is just starting to catch on. I think it will be a long time before they catch on to the power-nap idea, authough I did start a bit of a trend at my last office, but that’s another story.
